The MSU Horticulture Club offers interested students the opportunity to further their horticultural education in an informal, fun, and competitive manner. Club activities include community service projects, plant sales, trade shows, competition at regional and national meetings, and trips. Through identification and judging of plant materials, students have the opportunity to travel and bring recognition to themselves, and the university. The mission of the MSU Horticulture Club is to encourage the study and practice of all phases of horticulture.
Watch for signs posted on the door of Dorman 142 announcing the meetings, work nights, and club events. This year the Horticulture Club has many projects scheduled. We have a couple of fall plant sale projects (fall mums and pansies in October and poinsettias in December) as well as our spring bedding plant sale (in April). The club competed in regional competitions in Birmingham, AL 2012 and is looking forward to the national competitions in Miami, FL 2012 and Southern Region competition in Orlando, FL February 2013. The club also periodically schedules other trips to help break up the semester and enhance the learning experience. All active members are welcome on the trips. Come and join the fun.
